F6Rdodg'nroos Member 164 Member For: 16y 10m 6d Location: NSW-The Taxed State Posted 03/03/08 08:02 AM Share Posted 03/03/08 08:02 AM I may stand corrected on my last post, However Wikipedia does contradict itself: It states on a page about the XR6T: "The XR6 Turbo is based on the popular XR6 model - with minor extras and the major inclusion of a Garrett GT3540 turbocharger and front mount intercooler. "Then on the Typhoon page it quotes: "The engine is based on the XR6T motor - with; a modified FPV airbox (with Duel Ram Air intakes), higher strength conrods, larger air to air intercooler, high flow exhaust system, higher capacity fuel pump, and a Garrett GT3540 turbocharger with an external gate (up from the GT3040 on the XR6T) running 0.64 bar of boost."WTF?

Maybe the Wiki editor is bent! 4.96 is a mad time if you can do that in any stock F6 or GTI've got down to 5.1 0-100 in mine - stock. Exact same time 3 times in a row, using ZF in auto and manual mode. It hits 120kph before it gets into third... but haven't run a 1/4mile in it yet, maybe time to head to the track and sus it out.

R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 18y 11m 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 03/03/08 12:07 PM Share Posted 03/03/08 12:07 PM The definition of Wikipedia...'WikipediaA free content, multilingual encyclopedia written collaboratively by contributors around the world. The site is a Wiki - anybody can edit and add to an article. Offers quick understanding on controversial issues.'Everything in wikipedia is written by anyone. 1/2 of it could be complete and utter bullsh*t.And when it comes to cars, they're like people. No two cars are exactly the same. They will all run different times and they'll all have different power outputs. Like religion, it's an endless arguement.

Isn't really an argument - no doubt there is a huge variation in stock performances. I think that's what this thread points out.It's really just about how fast can a stock F6 go?Would be interesting to see what is the quickest a stock F6 can do 0-100 and 1/4 mile (including all stock variables - run in, oils fuels etc, but no engine mods). We all know how modded T's and F6's can warp time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
